A lot has happened since the disco ball started spinning in Munich discotheques in the 1970s for the first time. Thirty years later, its motor has gained new drive and the ball is spinning faster than ever. Partly responsible for this renaissance is the Munich label Permanent Vacation.
Founded by Tom Bioly and Benjamin Fröhlich during Germany's tropical summer of 2006, Permanent Vacation has not only survived in the obscure jungle of modern dance music, but has established itself as a flagship of the disco movement and its variations, such as Balearic, cosmic, Krautrock or proto-house, all of which have become extremely popular on all continents. Permanent Vacation was able to establish themselves within 4 years as one of the most cutting edge, universal dance labels In the world, releasing music from artists like Tensnake, Aeroplane, Holy Ghost!, Azari & III, Kathy Diamond, Todd Terje, Antena, Woolfy vs. Projections, Hercules and Love Affair, DMX Krew and many others.

PERMVAC 187-1EP
|
Marvin & Guy return in full glory to Permanent Vacation after their 2017 Fire ! Fire ! EP (PERMVAC 156-1EP). "Hint Of '92" pays clear tribute to the techno/trance from early '90s. But they are not all about the pure retro-ness, instead M&G approach the matter with a contemporary point of view. The track also features fellow Italian Marika from Underspreche on vocals, who also contributed a discoid remix to the original. "Discoteque" may remind you of the early Marvin & Guy sound: rough, chunky, rocky, and full of disco-ish energy. While "Colours" is a calmer, yet mental trip.

Benjamin Fröhlich has struck many chords in the arena of electronic music: as a party organizer and record shop owner in his early days, and now as a label owner, DJ, and producer. He is the co-founder of Permanent Vacation Records together with Tom Bioly, which has been up and running since the tropical summer of 2006. Emerging from the vibrant cosmic disco and Balearic scene, Permanent Vacation has been going strong over the past decade with genre-defining hits, albums, and compilations. Fröhlich and Bioly have worked together with the household names of the international electronic dance scene. They have scouted artists like John Talabot, Todd Terje, Tensnake, and Mano Le Tough early in their careers and released their breakthrough records. On top of his dedication to explore and feature rising as well as accomplished artists, Benjamin Fröhlich himself has emerged as a producer of vibrant tracks that are testament to his versatile and compelling approach to club music. His 12-inches, which were well received by DJs and clubbers alike, are accompanied by acclaimed remixes including his Tuff City Kids rework, which made it on Roman Flügel's Fabric mix (FABRIC 189CD, 2017). Now his first album is ready to go! Amiata is a conglomerate of Benjamin Fröhlich's longstanding experience. Just like his DJ sets and work for PV, each of the album's tracks expresses a different facet of his musical preferences. While keeping it under the roof of Benjamin's specific sound, the tracks range from dub hybrids to Italo, disco, and boogie inspired tracks, '90s spacy breakbeats, and electro to classic house ("Last Night" features rising US artist Dreamcast). It is an in-depth exploration of his background and Benjamin Fröhlich's passion to combine the unforgettable past and the gripping present with the tunes of tomorrow.

Yør Kultura bends the fourth dimension, gently pushing you to fill in the vacuum between time and space. In 2016, Kris Danny and Raymon gave up their einzelganger status as DJs and unified as a collective. Yør Kultura was born in Rotterdam and didn't take too long to grow up and see the world. By not sticking to one specific genre, they founded a new music type which is still regarded as their trademark. Leaving the 4x4 basslines far, far ahead, switching from ecstasy to exultation to ecstasy to exultation, combining trippy flows with traditional sounds and a hypnotic bass.

Antena's album Camino Del Sol (1982) is an electro-samba classic back from 1983, including several tracks produced by John Foxx. French electro master and head of Tigersushi Joakim turns the original into a deep and very tense electro-house track. Oslo's wonderboy Todd Terje comes along with a wonderful extended samba-electro-disco version, that stays closer to the original.

"He Sings! He Dances! The fabulous new album!!!" says the original sticker on DMX Krew's Nu Romantix LP and nothing changed 20 years later for Edward Uptown, aka Ed DMX. Permanent Vacation marks the 20th anniversary of this influential album, originally released in 1998, with this special re-release. The music is now as relevant as it was 20 years ago, when the king of electro power ballads sings about the essential things in life and takes you to the place called love -- that is more needed than ever before. Presented here for the first time on a loud and sharp 45rpm, double 12". The set includes an instrumental of "Come To Me" as bonus track. Carefully remastered by Lopazz.

Body Language is the fifth release for MLU, and it sees the duo heading into more pop-y territories than before.

Double LP version. Includes download code. Born in the high north of Germany and now a Berlin resident, Ralf Schmidt, aka Aera, first appeared on the electronic music map when he established his own Aleph Music label back in 2010. With only a handful of releases, Aera was able to lay out his very own musically topography on the cutting edges between house, psychedelia, and breakbeats. This colorful mix culminated on his debut album Offseason Traveller in 2013 (ALEPH 001CD/LP), resonating the past forty years of electronic music, which brought him the attention of a wider audience as well as fellow DJs and producers. So it was a logical consequence that his talent also attracted other labels and lead to widely praised releases on Innervisions, Maeve, or John Talabot's Hivern Discs. With these, Aera's sound bloomed further into bubbly acid and trancey territories and his fine reputation as a singular producer, travelling DJ, and remixer flourished. With The Sound Path Aera continues his musical travels on Permanent Vacation. His second album is the most coherent and definitely most personal work to date. Here, he has perfected his sound even further -- adding nuances from the meadows of new age, kraut cliffs, and high-flying kites of ambient. Complete with the cinematic and natural qualities of Ralf's music, it will draw you in deeply through a great variety of landscapes before your inner eye. However, you'll never lose track, because this path is beautifully illuminated.

Calling in the favors: Marcel Dettmann, Roman Flügel, and Scuba under his SCB Inversion disguise, take apart songs and tracks from Tuff City Kids' debut album Adoldesscent (PERMVAC 153CD/LP, 2016). Dettmann keeps the song that is "Scared" intact, but mangles it into a fast-paced pogo piece, while Flügel uses his second take of "R-Mancer" to push it into the K-Lauer abyss, before SCB Inversion tones down the rockism of "Nordo" and makes it inherently his own. To complete the picture, you get "Thorarium" by TCK themselves -- a previously unreleased track.
